| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @luisma31 Well if the cartridge won't track properly its not going to be all that magical :) You really do want to get that bit right. Now you may have noticed something- with MM cartridges you can't get as much bandwidth. This probably isn't a b... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry What tonearm adjustments do you view as necessary to be considered a good tonearm for yourself?@scar972 The reason I like the Triplanar is that its so adjustable. You can dial in the VTA (the VTA tower pioneered by Triplanar is now seen in a varie... | |
| what is your opinion ? ' in one of my post mentioned D.Berning OTL design you have instantly made a comment he uses this, that , semiconducters etc, etc, as a matter of you start to critise other OTL Design I think you will find that the above statement is incorrect!... | |
| Stacking a HT processor on top of amplifier Or- how about putting the amp on the processor?Amps need cooling. If they overheat, Bad Things can happen. | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active It is interesting to note that as the frequency response approaches flat at 20kHz the phase shift increases further down into the audio band. In this case it becomes the choice of the lesser of two evils. Since no two people hear the same, it ... | |
| what is your opinion ? Mine is better Yours is worst kind of aproach I Personally believe is absurd You'll notice I stay away from that sort of talk. | |

| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? Are electrostatics considered the next level with a corresponding price bump, or just an alternative technology? The latter.One should be careful when driving ESLs if you wish to get the best out of them. Because they are a fundamentally different... | |
| A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game I will reach out to John and ask what are the efficiency specs. @audioquest4lifeThey are 98dB 1 watt/1 meter and 16 ohms. So you are using about 1/10th the power you used to use. I’ve had John’s speakers for the last 22 years (they’ve been updated... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry what would you consider as a high output cartridge? Anything over 3mV2.5mV? Only because this is about the minimum that a phono section designed for MM cartridges will handle properly.But the answer isn't simple. The lower the output of the cartri... | |

| Restoring vintage H/K Citation 19 Power Amp I contacted Jim McShane and he advised he doesn't deal with H/K solid state, and unfortunately couldn't recommend anyone. FWIW we can handle stuff like that. And I can strongly recommend Jim should you ever get any of the h/k tube Citations. | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration That I know SME never stated about. Where is your link on that precsie tonearm SME characteristic?That was stated to me by my local dealer. At the time he was close to the people at Sumiko who were importing the SME stuff. One of his salesmen, All... | |
| Are all speaker relays removable? One receiver with two relays? I'd go with that. If you cleaned front panel switches, one trouble-maker is the 'tape monitor' switch which is notorious for knocking out one channel mysteriously. You might have already sorted that out. | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? What are some of the speakers that sound especially accurate and good with Atma-sphere OTL amps? Some examples would be helpful to illustrate you're point.Quad ESLs, Sound Lab ESLs, Classic Audio Loudspeakers (I have T-3s at home), Audiokinesis... |
